SYNOPSIS:
"The story of domestic help who work for rich households. No Soon Geum is one of these housekeepers; despite the master-maid heirarchy, she's bold, fearless, and unafraid of doing hard work in order to support herself. As a child, Soon Geum had dreamt of living a grand life in a Cinderella story, complete with her own white knight, but that dream had faded as reality took over. However, she reaches a turning point in her life when she is hired as a maid for the rich and handsome Kang Gun Woo."

REVIEW:
Although the show was worth watching, I have to say that this series has the worst title I have ever seen. Originally, the title was going to be "maids," which was not that great. However, there were many complaints about it because the word apparently isn't a great word in Korea. Truthfully, I really don't know what the big deal is about the original title, as I know very little Korean or it's history. Anyway, they decided to change it to "Romance Town" instead because of the complaints. Let me just say that the title only got worse. Seriously, it sounds like a soap opera. Maybe this drama is actually supposed to be a soap?

Anyway, as far as comedy is concerned, I wouldn't get too excited. Although the drama is interesting, there is practically no comedy. You're better off watching the news if you want comedy.

The thing I hated the most about it, though, is the end. Can someone say "WTF?" It's fine if a drama is a little unrealistic, but this one just takes the cake.

Poem by Desiderate

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
